Halloween is Forever

Minisode 186: Brainscan (1994)

It's the 1990s. Every piece of media not part of ABC T.G.I.F. is a portal for the Devil. No one understands the Internet. Or video games. Your mission is to write a screenplay about an Internet video game that hypnotizes its victim into believing they're and murderer. You've just read the synopsis for the Making of Brainscan: The Game. A confusing and not terribly good film, Brainscan combines tropes from kids' films with Christian moral panic and screeching industrial metal.

Plus we talk about 90s beer and the many deaths of Eddie Furlong.

Minisode 185: Home Sweet Home Rebirth (2025)

It's a punishment week, and unlike last month, Brian hates it. The movie is a based off the Thai Home Sweet Home video game. Much like every other video game movie, heavy liberties are taken resulting in unrecognizable swill. On top of that, the film feels like a some type of scam. White guys went to Thailand "to make a film." The results we're a possibly AI written script, non-actors acting in not their first or even second language, possible AI visual effects, and a stunning lack of anything interesting.  

 

Plus we talk February Showdown topic poll, Chipotle slop bowls, the end of craft beer and more.

Minisode 184: The Suckling (1990)

Starting off 2026 with an aborted, mutant baby new year is definitely a choice. One Brian and Steve gladly make to talk about a real New York classic. Clearly inspired by the schlock coming from Troma and Frank Henenlotter at the time, The Suckling tackles women's rights and autonomy with the same deft tact as yelling slurs outside of Planned Parenthood. Full of non-actors who would go on to nothing, and an FX crew who would find long Hollywood careers. Pairs nicely with Doom Asylum and Mutant Hunt.

Minisode 183: Treevenge (2008) and Christmas of the Dead (2025)

It's still the holiday break and therefore we're still talking holiday horror. This week Steve is joined by his former Hop Nation USA cohost Adam, so Steve can once again make normie watch extreme splatter horror. This time it's horror shorts. First, the 2008 evergreen-sploitation film Treevenge from the director of Hobo with a Shotgun and stars of The Trailer Park Boys. Then it's a brand new zombie gamer fest from Sweden with references to Doom, Dead Alive and Shaun of the Dead.

 

Plus talk about how cool Reacher is and possible OSCAR winners.

Minisode 181: Final Flesh (2009)

Kellie from the Final Girls returns to tackle the wildest punishment film to date with Brian and Steve. Is it an existential look at the impact of nuclear fear on the nuclear family? Is it a meta exploration of the nature of exploitation in the fetish industry? Is it a summoning circle drawing Tommy Wisseau, Neil Breen, Seymour Butts, John Waters and David Lynch into a Captain Planet like cinema experience? Or is it a post-modern retelling of The Aristocrats? Only way to find out is to tune in?
